Adventures on Earth is a feast for the eyes and the mind: 135 pages of more than 300 images and 20 of Louise's best stories from destinations most people can only dream of visiting, places like Madagascar, Bhutan, Mongolia and the Arctic.
"Every travel writer gets asked, 'What's your favourite place?' and this ebook is my best possible answer: a selection of my favourite stories about all-time favourite trips in my favourite places, brought to life by the power of technology."
With features such as videos and interactive image galleries, Adventures on Earth is a multi-touch ebook, designed to be read and viewed on an iPad with iBooks 3 or later, or a Mac with iBooks 1.0 or later.
"I've loved working on this ebook, putting words and pictures together in this new way. It has also reminded me of how fortunate I am to be able to sea kayak in Panama or hike in Mustang on assignment, and that this comes with a responsibility. I hope my stories and pics inspire in others a sense of wonder about this great blue planet and the importance of taking care of it," says Louise.
Adventures on Earth is available for $9.99 on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/book/adventures-on-earth/id782953894?mt=11. A free sample is available, which includes the book's introduction and first chapter, on Madagascar.
Review copies are available, please email Louise for a promo code to redeem on iTunes.
Images are also available including the ebook cover, a selection of images and author head shots:
